Here are all of the quests with Mr and Mrs Hill’s ghosts.

You Can Be a Ghost!

mr_hill

Watch where you are riding lunatic! You aren’t the only person up here, you know!

Ghost?! YOU could be a ghost! You almost run me over like a mad-woman then accuse me of being a ghost? All I’m doing here is waiting here, minding my own business, waiting for my wife to come home. Get out of here! Ghost… Hah!

“Wow… Could this be a real ghost? Am I dreaming? I need to speak with someone about this. Maybe someone at Moorland Stables has heard something about this…”

Objectives: Speak with someone at Moorland Stables about the ghost in Nilmer’s Highland.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Maybe Tan would know something about this?

tan

A ghost? Ha ha, you didn’t think I’d fall for that, did you Rita?

Quest completed

______________

Ghosts There?

tan

Whoa… You aren’t joking? Okay. I’m not entirely convinced it was a ghost you saw… Maybe you ate something funny… Or didn’t get enough sleep? Did you watch too many scary movies lately?

The only thing I know is that the farm up there has been abandoned for many years. Go and ask Loretta about it… I think she knows more about that farm.

Objectives: Speak with Loretta.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

I hate it when people don’t take me seriously…

Maybe Loretta will be more helpful.

loretta

Ghost? You saw it too?

Quest completed

______________

Two That Have Seen the Ghost

loretta

I knew I wasn’t crazy, Rita! You actually spoke to it! Brrr… I’d never be able to do that. There used to be a competition track here before, a long time ago, that went up past where that farm is now. The beginning of the track hasn’t changed since then… But the race used to be longer and finish up on the other side of the river by Hill Crest. I’m sure you have seen the broken bridge by the abandoned farm up there? I think the bridge might have something to do with the ghost…

Anyways, Mrs Holdsworth is old enough that she probably remembers something from that time. She must know more than I do. Maybe you should ask her?

Objectives: Speak with Mrs Holdsworth.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 10 with Moorland Stable

Mrs Holdsworth knows about a lot of things.

mrs_holdsworth

Hey, my little friend! What’s on your mind? The broken bridge by Nilmer’s Highland? There was a horrible accident that happened there…

Quest competed

______________

Two Reliable Old Sources

mrs_holdsworth

Like I said, it was a tragic accident. During a competition, the old bridge collapsed! I remember it like it was yesterday. All of Jorvik was in shock when it happened. What made you ask me about it? It was a very long time ago. You want to know about the people who died? All I know is that it was a handsome man with a handsome horse. The papers wrote a lot about the accident. I’m sure there are some old copies of the Jorvik Gazette in the library archives. That’s where I would look if I were you. Good luck my friend!

Objectives: Ride to the library at the Winery and try to find more information about the accident.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 25 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

One more trip to the library. Pick up the newspaper on top of the bookshelf, inside the library.

newspaper

“This article is about the accident in Nilmer’s Highland. Let’s see what it says…”

A competitor was killed in a tragic accident during the weekend’s competition in Moorland when the bridge over the southern part of the river collapsed. It appears that the wooden structure of the bridge had begun to rot and that lead to the collapse. The man who died has been identified as Mr Hill. Mr Hill leaves behind a wife who is grief stricken after the accident.

Quest completed

______________

Then What Happened?

newspaper

“The article continues…”

The council in Silverglade is investigating the accident, the people responsible for the competition, and will speak to the wife of the victim. A report on the incident will be delivered soon.

“Hmm… The Council Man in Silverglade might know something more about this…”

Objectives: Speak with the Council Man in Silverglade Village.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 5 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Let’s go see if the Council Man knows anything.

council_man

An accident in Nilmer’s Highland? It must have been before I started working here. But of course I’ll help you try to find out more about it.

Quest completed

Return to the Council Man tomorrow.

______________

The Council Man Might Know

council_man

I went down into the archives and dug around a bit. I found the report on the accident. It turns out the bridge wasn’t built up to proper standards at all! G.E.D., the company who built the bridge, used old wood and substandard concrete to save money. It was a long time ago, and now G.E.D. is viewed as a respectable company… At least they seem to think so.

His wife, Mrs Hill, moved to Firgrove after the accident, according to the report.If you want to know more about her, you should speak to my colleague, the council man in Firgrove.

Objectives: Speak with the council man in Firgrove Village.

Rewards: 15 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with Silverglade Village

Ride to Firgrove and speak with Mr Franklin. Maybe he knows more.

mr_franklin

Mrs Hill? Yes, she lived here. I’m sorry to say it but she died many years ago. Was she a relative of yours?

Quest completed

______________

Another Ghost?

mr_franklin

Aha, not a relative then. Unfortunately, Mrs Hill has been dead for a long time now and her house has been torn down. So I’m not really sure what I can do to help you. I remember her quite well. She was an excellent dressage rider. It was always a bit sad to see her as she was heartbroken and never really recovered from her husband’s accident. The only time she really perked up was wen she would ride the competition track outside the village. She said it reminded her of her lost love.

I’ve heard the other villagers here say that they have seen her up there, along the track outside the village, after she died… But I don’t really believe it. You can ride around up there and have a look for yourself but I wouldn’t expect anything.

Objectives: Look for Mrs Hill outside Firgrove Village along the riding trail.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 10 with Firgrove

Mrs Hill can be found along the hard forest track. Go down to where Minka is, then follow the trail up onto the bridge with the two breaks in it. Mrs Hill is standing at the end of the bridge (or follow the trail in reverse, and she’s off the trail before the bridge).

quest-mrs_hill

mrs_hill

Ooooo… My looove… Where are youuuuu?

Quest completed

______________

A Confused Ghost

mrs_hill

Oooo… My husband… Where are you… I need to find you… Ooooo….

“I can’t seem to reach her… Maybe I should try and speak with Mr Hill.”

Objectives: Speak with the ghost in Nilmer’s Highland.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

Ride back to Nilmer’s Highland and speak with Mr Hill’s ghost.

mr_hill

My wife is in Firgrove? Balderdash!

Quest completed

______________

Ask the Ghost

mr_hill

My wife lives in Firgrove? What are you talking about? She lives here with me. If you don’t believe me, go in and look in my attic for yourself. All her pictures, books, and other things are up there like they always have been.

Objectives: Look in the house for anything that might convince Mr Hill that his wife doesn’t live there anymore.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

Dismount your horse to go into the attic. Search through the boxes there, then return to Mr Hill when you have found something.

mr_hill

My goodness… That is my wife’s wedding ring! She never takes that off… What is going on?

Quest completed

______________

Meaningful Ring

mr_hill

How can her ring be here? She never, ever takes it off… I don’t understand… Is someone playing a joke on me? It doesn’t really matter, she needs to get her ring back.

My poor wife, she must be really upset. Take the ring… Find her for me please. I will be eternally in your debt.

“He seems really upset about her ring… Maybe I shouldn’t mention I found his ring too…”

Objectives: Take the rings to Mrs Hill.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 30 XP

Reputation: 15 with Firgrove

Ride back to Firgrove, where you found Mrs Hill, and show her the rings.

mrs_hill

Oooo… Booo… Where is my love… Whaa?

That is my ring. And my husband’s! Where did you find them? Who are you?

Quest completed

Return to Mrs Hill tomorrow.

______________

Ride to Firgrove and show Mrs Hill the wedding rings you found.

A Special Place

mrs_hill

You found our rings. It feels like waking up from a dream.

Look at me… I am no longer flesh and blood… I am transparent! I’m ready to accept that I am dead… I have to be. I am a ghost.

What was that? You know where my husband is? He doesn’t  know the fate he met a long time ago on that horrible day? I need to go see him. It is the only thing that will give me peace and I’m sure it is the same for him.

I know what we should do. Take our rings and place them on my husband’s grave… Or as I should really say OUR grave… Which I remember now. You should be able to find it. The grave lies a little south of an apple grove, by a little cape where you can see Fort Pinta on the other side of the water. The grave is in the shade of a big old tree. 

Objectives: Put the rings on the grave. Our grave lies to the south of the apple grove, by a little hill where you can see Fort Pinta and the official castle on the other side of the castle.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 10 XP

Reputation: 5 with Firgrove

Ride along the Fire Trail, past Applegrove. There will be a large hill between the road and the water. The graves are hidden in some foliage on the back side of the hill.

quest-ghost_grave

mrs_hill

With the rings placed on our graves I could find my way here, and so will my husband. I know it must sound weird, but the rings acted like a compass out of the mist for me.

Quest completed

______________

As Stubborn as a Ghost

mrs_hill

You think it might be a problem to get my husband here? That sounds just like him… He has always been very stubborn.

Tell him to meet me at our special place. He will understand what I mean. It was where he proposed to me and it was where we always went for special occasions. When my husband died in that tragic accident, I had him buried here. We always said we wanted to be buried together here when the time came.

Go and give it your best try now. I hope we see you again soon.

Objectives: Tell Mr Hill to go to the couple’s secret meeting place; the hill south of Applegrove.

Rewards: 5 Jorvik Shillings, 15 XP

Reputation: 5 with Moorland Stable

Ride back to Nilmer’s Highland and speak with Mr Hill.

mr_hill

She said she wants to meet at our special place? I never thought of that. I’m sure she is there. All this waiting is finally over. I’m coming my love! I just need to put on something nice to meet her in…

Quest completed

______________

In the Shade of a Tree

mr_hill

Everything else can wait, I’m on my way to my darling!

Please ride on ahead and let her know that I am on my way. I’ll get there as fast as I can!

Objectives: Ride to the grave and tell Mrs Hill that her husband is on his way.

Rewards: 25 Jorvik Shillings, 40 XP

Reputation: 25 with Moorland Stable

Return to Mrs Hill at their special place near Applegrove.

mrs_hill

My darling! Finally!

Quest completed

______________

Rest in Peace

mr_hill

A gravestone, in the place where I once proposed to my wife. What does it say?

“Here lies Mr and Mrs Hill in the shade of the tree where they first met.”

This is our gravestone. My darling wife… Now I understand. Rita, you have done us a huge kindness. I am sorry I resisted but I’m sure you can understand now. Now we can be together forever, precisely how it should be. 

I could never thank you enough for what you have done. My wife says that in the attic of our house, among her old things, there is something she would like you to have. 

Farewell!

Objectives: Look in the attic of Mr Hill’s house in Nilmer’s Highland for something Mrs Hill wanted you to have.

Rewards: 50 Jorvik Shillings, 20 XP, Mrs Hill’s Competition Saddle

Reputation: 50 with Moorland Stable

Ride back to Nilmer’s Highland and check out the attic of the house.

self

“A dressage saddle! This must be Mrs Hill’s old dressage saddle that she used in competitions all over the world. How kind of her! I’m glad Mr and Mrs Hill can finally rest in peace together.”
